Conference Calls

Description
Conference Calls allow you to add another party to an existing conversation. With the standard
system configuration, up to 3 parties can be included in a conference call at any one time. If the
optional Conference Card is installed, additional parties up to a total of 8 can participate in a
conference call.
Any combination of extensions and CO lines can be in the conference as long as the original
extension is in the conference and the total number of parties does not exceed 8. Only one operation is
used to establish and add to a conference. You simply have to place the current call on hold, dial the
next party and press the CONF key. No different operation or access code is required to add
additional parties to the call.
When no optional conference card is installed, the system supports the following types of three-party

conference calls:

• 3 extensions
• 2 extensions and 1 CO line
• 1 extension and 2 CO lines
When the optional 8-party conference card is installed, the system supports any combination of
conference calls, except all outside lines.
